Anisotropic viscoplasticity coupled with anisotropic damage has been modeled in previous works by using the energy equivalence principle appropriately adjusted. Isotropic and kinematic hardenings are present in the viscoplastic part of the model and the evolution equations for the hardening variables incorporate both static and dynamic recovery terms. The main difference to other approaches consists in the formulation of the energy equivalence principle for the plastic stress power and the rate of hardening energy stored in the material. As a practical consequence, a yield function has been established, which depends, besides effective stress variables, on specific functions of damage. The present paper addresses the capabilities of the model in predicting responses of deformation processes with complex specimen geometry. In particular, multiple notched circular specimens and plates with multiple holes under cyclic loading conditions are considered. Comparison of predicted responses with experimental results confirms the convenience of the proposed theory for describing anisotropic damage effects.

Integration Algorithms

In this work, two time integration algorithms for the anisotropic damage model proposed by Lemaitre et al. (2000) are compared. Specifically, the standard implicit Euler scheme is compared to an algorithm which implicitly solves the elasto-plastic evolution equations and explicitly computes the damage update. To this end, a three dimensional bending example is solved using the finite element method and the results of the two algorithms are compared for different time step sizes.

Failure Predictions

The Lemaitre's continuum damage model is well known in the field of damage mechanics. The anisotropic damage model given by Lemaitre is relatively simple, applicable to nonproportional loads and uses only four damage parameters. The hypothesis of strain equivalence is used to map the effective stress to the nominal stress. Both the isotropic and anisotropic damage models from Lemaitre are implemented in an in-house implicit finite element code. The damage model is coupled with an elasto-plastic material model using anisotropic plasticity (Hill-48 yield criterion) and strain-rate dependent isotropic hardening. The Lemaitre continuum damage model is based on the small strain assumption; therefore, the model is implemented in an incremental co-rotational framework to make it applicable for large strains. The damage dissipation potential was slightly adapted to incorporate a different damage evolution behavior under compression and tension. A tensile test and a low-cycle fatigue test were used to determine the damage parameters. The damage evolution was modified to incorporate strain rate sensitivity by making two of the damage parameters a function of strain rate. The model is applied to predict failure in a cross-die deep drawing process, which is well known for having a wide variety of strains and strain path changes. The failure predictions obtained from the anisotropic damage models are in good agreement with the experimental results, whereas the predictions obtained from the isotropic damage model are slightly conservative. The anisotropic damage model predicts the crack direction more accurately compared to the predictions based on principal stress directions using the isotropic damage model. The set of damage parameters, determined in a uniaxial condition, gives a good failure prediction under other triaxiality conditions.

A new continuum damage theory (CDT) has been proposed by Lee et al. (1997) based on the SEEP. The CDT has the apparent advantage over the other related theories because the complete constitutive law can be readily derived by simply replacing the virgin elastic stiffness with the effective orthotropic elastic stiffness obtained by using the proposed continuum damage theory. In this paper, the CDT is evaluated by comparing the mode shapes and natural frequencies of a square plate containing a small line-through crack with those of the same plate with a damaged site replaced with the effective orthotropic elastic stiffness computed by using the CDT.

Proposed Model

In this study, a rigorous constitutive model within the framework of thermodynamics is formulated to describe the coupling process between irreversible deformation and anisotropic damage of rock materials. The coupling effect is reflected based on the “two-surface” formulation. The plastic response is described by a yield function while the anisotropic damage is defined by a novel exponential damage criterion. In the proposed model, another feature lies in introducing parameters β and k in the proposed model to capture strain hardening/softening behaviors and brittle–ductile transition. The computational formulation scheme for the coupled model is deduced in detail by using return mapping algorithm. The validity of the coupled model is compared with the numerical simulation results and the experimental curves of the fine-grained sandstone, Beishan granite, and Jinping marble. The results indicate that the model can take into account the nonlinear mechanical behaviors of rock: coupling anisotropic damage and plasticity as well as brittle-ductile transition behaviors. Without loss of generality, the coupled model is versatile to describe the mechanical characteristics of rock materials.

Associate Flow Rule

A new anisotropic damage model for rock is formulated and discussed. Flow rules are derived with the energy release rate conjugate to damage, which is thermodynamically consistent. Drucker–Prager yield function is adapted to make the damage threshold depend on damage energy release rate and to distinguish between tension and compression strength. Positivity of dissipation is ensured by using a nonassociate flow rule for damage, while nonelastic deformation due to damage is computed by an associate flow rule. Simulations show that the model meets thermodynamic requirements, follows a rigorous formulation, and predicts expected trends for damage, deformation and stiffness.

Aim of this study is to describe the ductile damage of metastable austenitic steels which show TRansformation Induced Plasticity (TRIP). Therefore, a criterion for the austenite to martensite transformation, the caused additional hardening and evolution equations for the TRIP-strain are incorporated into the damage model of Rousselier. As a first approach, the model is calibrated against unit cell simulations of the porous material for different stress triaxialities.

Energy Equivalence

Many approaches on modeling of cracks in structural members have been reported in the literatures. However, most of them are explicitly developed for the purpose of studying the changes in static and dynamic responses of the structure due to the crack damage, which is a forward problem mathematically. Thereby the use of these models is inconvenient or even impossible for detecting damage in structures from vibration measurements, which is usually an inverse problem. An anisotropic damage model is proposed for a two-dimensional plate element with an edge-parallel crack. The cracked plate element is represented by a plate element with orthotropic anisotropic material expressed in terms of the virgin material stiffness and a tensor of damage variables. Instead of using the effective stress concept, strain equivalence, or strain energy equivalence principles, the vector of damage variables is identified based on the principle of equivalent static and dynamic behaviors. A nonmodel-based damage identification approach is developed incorporating the proposed anisotropic model and the estimated uniform load surface curvature (ULSC) from vibration measurements. The actual length of the crack is then predicted from the identified variables based on conservation law of potential energy for crack growth. The validity of the methodology is demonstrated by numerical examples and experiment results with comparison to results from existing strain energy equivalence theory.

In this paper, a thermodynamic formulation for modelling anisotropic damage of elastic-brittle materials based on Ottosen's 4-parameter failure surface is proposed. The model is developed by using proper expressions for Gibb's free energy and the complementary form of the dissipation potential. The formulation predicts the basic characteristic behaviour of concrete well and results ina realistic shape for the damage surface.
